The Den of the Treehouse

Welcome to one of the most spectacular locations in Byron Shire and Australia!

The view is breathtaking.

Get picked up in our all-terrain vehicle from the pick-up point & car park nearby at the bottom of the mountain and get taken on a jungle Safari through giant forests to the top of the mountain half an hour from Byron Bay. 4WD access is required as it is a 3.3kms ride from the Car Park nearby to reach the pinnacle of this most unique wilderness area. There are no extra costs to you for this service.

"The Treehouse" has been a name that friends began to call it many years ago & now it has stuck. :)

The abode of peace & tranquillity.

Surrounded by a Rainforest Sanctuary & Nature Reserve, you have absolute privacy and one of the most extraordinary locations of the area and in Australia. This is a (nature) lovers retreat with pristine walks into old-growth forest or swimming in the sparkling secluded waterfalls so make sure you bring your walking shoes! Kinabalu is managed as a Private Conservation Park where the main focus is the preservation habitat for the wild, repair and regeneration of the rainforest. By staying here you help support us with our endeavour to preserve and enhance the rainforests of Kinabalu, Inner Pocket. You can plant a rainforest tree, if you like and over the years, watch it grow. :)

The Den is a small cosy self- contained room, with Kitchenette, anteroom & toilet facilities with a view that is *absolutely breathtaking*.

Wireless broadband Internet is provided & an awesome 5 channel sound system.

A much-loved feature of the Den is the outdoor shower where you can take in the breathtaking surrounds while you are pampered by fresh (heated) rainwater!! A second bed is provided in the form of cushions arranged as a mattress together with a doona & pillows.

A 4 wheel drive is necessary to reach the 'Treehouse' so all transport to & from the Treehouse is provided from the pickup & point & car park if need be. This service is *by arrangement,* and is included when you pay so there are no additional costs to you.

So if you intend to come to Byron just to savour the cosmopolitan atmosphere, you should stay in Byron Bay town. However transport to & from can be provided from Byron Bay or the airport if you wish for a fee, *$75 from Byron Bay from the airport*.

This is both a lover's & NATURE LOVERS RETREAT.

Please bear in mind that being off the grid, renovating this home has been challenging due to its location and difficult mountainous access. As a result of much labour, you get one of the most extraordinary locations in Australia.

Please also note you are in the middle of wild nature here so be prepared for lots of wild critters. They are a part of the experience. Ie insects, mice, possums, and snakes etc. we do our best but they are around and some folk are not used to them.

Food is provided for a hearty breakfast that includes muesli cereal, & a selection of fruits. An assortment of condiments is also provided. If you wish to have served lunch & dinner this may *sometimes* be available by arrangement.

It has been quite an achievement to build this over the last 7 years . . now focused on the garden - still plenty to do!

Come and plant a tree if you have a green thumb! We have many seedlings on hand.

Please look also at our new listing called the 'Treepod', when not in use by family & friends it is available. It has an added advantage of being completely independent and very private, not to mention includes SAT TV.

See you at the Treehouse!. A very unusual and special nature based experience.


GUEST ACCESS

First of all, being totally surrounded by the Nature Reserve you will have access to walks in old-growth forest, walks to the waterfall & depending on your level of fitness a cornucopia of natures gifts. You will have exclusive use of the den, however, you will generally have the run of the garden & household.

PLEASE NOTE

Cooking facilities are provided by two gas stovetops, a grill, microwave & toaster. Basic condiments provided i.e. Olive oil, butter, salt pepper. Tomato sauce sometimes more. :)

Please note that you have only exclusive use of the Den. There is an entertainment facility in the room that includes Apple TV & a wide selection of documentaries & movies.

Also, be aware this is a Rainforest Jungle home built on top of a mountain in the middle of totally wild nature.

THIS IS NOT A PLACE TO BASE YOURSELF TO SAVOUR THE COSMOPOLITAN ATMOSPHERE IN BYRON BAY TOWN AND BEACHES.

Best to stay in Byron for that. You enter this wonderful natural reality AT YOUR OWN RISK. There are no concrete pathways with railings just natural walking tracks.

Please be prepared with the appropriate attire, bring a torch, wet weather gear & make sure you are fit enough to negotiate this wild pristine natural environment.
